Digital Services supervisors and Metadata Librarians are authorized to upload MODS to libcontent so that it will appear online in Acumen.

The server name is libcontent.lib.ua.edu.

You’ll need to use ssh or secure putty to get there.

If you don’t have SSH installed, please request it.

STEPS

1) In your home directory (what shows up when you log on) you will see a subdirectory called MODS which contains another directory labeled 20090925. This is the date of the last upload of MODS content.

When you have another batch to upload, please create another subdirectory in the MODS directory –
Name it for whatever today’s date is – in the form YYYYMMDD

2)Upload all the MODS you need to deposit, all into that directory (no further subdirectories – mix the item and page MODS together). (just like you see in the sample directory)

3) Then, from the command line window, type in: ./relocate.pl
A window will open and will ask you the name of the directory that you want to have deposited in Acumen.

4) Type in the name of the subdirectory you created (YYYYMMDD) and hit enter
If the script can’t find it, it will ask you to type it in again.

Once it finds the directory, it will copy all the contents out into the live web directory, where you can view it.

5) If you get error messages, contact Jody and tell her what they were.
